Is There ANY Gun That Nobody has Anything Bad to Say About ?

Honestly, the Liberator pistol mention is remarkable.

An expedited design, pumped out on the cheap, raining from the sky, for free, so tyrannized Jews and other minorities can execute Nazis.

That's a good gun.

Now if we just had the political will to send them to Iran right now.

Seriously, it's been said before, but as long as people have different preferences there will be bashing of everything. During the day the Garand was knocked as being a Mickey Mouse piece of $%(! compared to the 1903 Springfield. Just human nature.
 
Most Mauser 98 sights SUUUUUUCK. Ruger SA revolvers are inconvenient to load and unload. Garands are way too heavy. The free beer is probably gonna be too cold, too. My first ever revolver, an RG10 in .22 Short (or LR HP, if you filed the bullet down to allow it to fit the length of the cylinder), now THAT was a work of art...
 
For its time, 1861 Colt Navy

While old, Im pretty sure the little additions here and there made it the perfect gun, Because the 1851 was nearly perfect.

In our time, its like a light saber- "A more elegant weapon for a more civilized age"
 
S&W: 10, 14, 15, 3 1/2" m27, 686.
Colt: Official Police, Police Positve, Detective, Woodsman, Trooper & MK3
CZ: 75, P01, SP01
Winchester: Pre-64 M70, 1894
Remington: 870
SIG: P210, 220, 226, 228
Beretta: M70, 84
Springfield '03,
Garand M1
Lee-Enfield series .303
I can't really remember anyone really bashing any of the above, well except for the usual crybabies, uh, er suspects.
 
For a general purpose handgun, I have to agree with the S&W Model 10. Absolutely nothing wrong with it, and pretty much the same goes for it's variants: Models 15, 19, 13, 64, 65, 66, etc. A "K" frame that shoots .38 Special (at the least), has decent aesthetics and worksmanship, is reliable as hell if properly maintained, and usually a superior trigger action, can't be beat. I just sold a fine "vintage" Model 10, but never would have done so if I didn't have a "keeper" almost exactly like it. I'm sure there have been many gunners or households that had a model !0 laying around, or even heavily used (many police officers), over the last 80-100 years, that could attest to the form and function of such a dependable and practical handgun.
 
Okay, so far we have:
Model 10, Liberator, Red Ryder, Pre 64 M70, Garand M1...

I know how talented this bunch is, and I know darn well we can come up with one heck of a whopping "my gun is better than your gun" thread going with just these guns nobody has anything to say something bad about.

I am sticking with the Red Ryder.
If it was good enough for Jonah to have slung while he water skied behind that whale, swimming so fast to part the Red Sea, and he felled all them catfish and hush puppies with it, for a down home fish fry, it is good enough for me.

*wink*
 
Garand M1
Click to expand...

You're kidding, right? The M1 was designed to shoot an intermediate cartridge that would have probably soldiered on, quite well, until at least the mid-1960s. (There would have never been a .308, and the M14 might still be in use today.) Changing to the .30-06 cartridge caused reliability issues that took a while, and a few mods of course, to iron out.

(Yet another reason I think D. Mac. was an idiot.)

And do you not have thumbs? Mine are still sore (yuck, yuck) at the Garand.

My vote is for the Browning A5 and the Winchester Model12, the only complains that I have ever heard that you could even qualify as a an issue is the weight of both guns.
The A5 is the quintisential auto loading shotgun, they are unsurpassed in reliability if properly maintained.
I have an A5 that my father bought in 1951, He was a duck hunting finatic and hunted almost every day of the season. I received the gun for my birthday in 1978 and still hunt with it some, if I do my job it has never failed me. This gun has taken more ducks than most people could imagine along with the seven deer and probably eight or ten hogs that I have taken.
The model12 is other than weight the is the best pump action shotgun ever built, they have record of reliability that is unsurpassed. They are still in use today even though they have been out of production for many years and if you talk to anyone who ever hunted with one they will probably tell you that it was the best gun they ever used. If you take issue with the weight of either of these guns just remember they are heavy because they are made of all machined steel parts that are assembled with very close tolerences, so they are extreamly tough.


This is this! It's not something else, it's this!

Don't pull it if you don't plan to use it, and don't use it if you don't plan to kill!

ALWAYS REMEMBER OUR MEN AND WOMEN OVER THERE.
 
Re: A5 and Model 12.

You darn right I can complain!

For starters I don't have one of either.
I could continue, instead I will cut to the chase.

I was only $4,799 dollars short , of the $4,800 for a Model 12 in 28 ga I held, hugged, threw to shoulder, did not want to give back at the Tulsa Gun show one year.

Larry Ashcraft was there...
Heck I let Larry hold the darn thing and he held it too long in my opinion, so I snatched it back.

*grin*
 
Lee-Enfield Jungle Carbine. Is there anythinhg not to like? It does exactly what it was designed to do every single time.
Also the Colt 1911's, I'm not talking about the 1911-type pistols but the real thing built to the original specs firing the ammo it was designed for. Idiots bash all 1911's constantly because they aren't bright enough to realize the difference.
 
Aside from a kick like a mule there is nothing I've ever heard bad about the Remington 870.

The Makarov seems to be thought of pretty well.

Except for Magazine availability/cost I have NEVER heard a cross word about my Astra A-80.
 
Maybe... worldwide... AK-47?

Of course most are operated by people we don't see much else, but its hard to argue with something that goes bang every time and is (well used to be) cheap??
 
Least bashed guns, IMO:

- S&W Model 10, pre-lock. Paricularly pre-10 long-action types. A DA trigger that is the epitome of perfection.

- Colt 1851 Navy

- Colt 1873 SAA

- Winchester Model 12

- Anshutz and Kimber 22 bolt actions (other than price)

- Freedom Arms revolvers (again, other than price)

- S&W Registered Magnum (other than price too)

- S&W K-22 Masterpiece and pre-war Outdoorsman (actually, all pre-lock / MIM 22 and 38 S&W K-Frames could be listed)

Again, someone out there has bashed these (like all guns). But I think they'd at least be in the top 20 "least bashed".
 
someone always has something bad to say about every gun out there.
some is true and others just like to hear themselfs talk.
 
1: a 1911

2: a Glock

3: anything in a 9mm

4: anything in a .45

This is what I've heard about 3...

1: Too expensive (but I'd fork over the cash for one)

2: Ugly (50% of people I know agree) and overpriced

3: Not enough "stopping power"



Of course the Mauser 98 gets some bashing, but I've seen much much less of it compared to other rifles. The M1 Garand is about on the same level.

As for the 10/22, of course some people will bash it, but it's a very largely popular gun, so I think the percentage of satisfied owners is higher than some other guns in the same price range.

I haven't heard a lot of bashing on bolt action Savage .22's.
